Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Etelois has a slightly steaminess on the nose from the 15% whole bunch, which lends it freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite fleshy and ripe with fine acidity, harmonious and velvety smooth towards the finish. Clever winemaking here. Subtle, but memorable.
